I'd rather keep my food cold and heat when it's ready to eat! But good thinking. If only it kept food at 120 or above!Kayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16185030390679667464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-62415700385131551852009-02-03T00:00:00.000-08:002009-02-03T00:00:00.000-08:00Hi there,Looking at the Thanko page, I noticed tha...Hi there,<BR/><BR/>Looking at the Thanko page, I noticed that there's an English site. I do read Japanese, but the link is actually in English, on the right, about halfway down the page.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, the Thanko US site is not currently offering the USB lunchbox warmer. But I bet if enough people showed interest in it by contacting their rep (email address available on the contact page), they might start carrying it for US buyers. <BR/><BR/>There are some other nifty USB powered gadgets on there, like a cup warmer/cooler that IS available for US buyers, too. <BR/><BR/>And by the way, the price in yen for the lunchbox warmer is 1980 yen, or about $20. Maybe slightly more with the way the dollar is tanking right now.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!selenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01282410196704062270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-66466137599804005142009-02-02T14:50:00.000-08:002009-02-02T14:50:00.000-08:00This is so cool....

For myself and other adults, I usually recommend stainless steel lunch boxes and dressing containers (like the ones from To-Go Ware).<BR/><BR/>But I&#39;ve found that stainless steel doesn&#39;t do so well for young kids -- it&#39;s heavy, sometimes it&#39;s hard for little fingers to open, and it dents if you drop it. Also, it&#39;s very &quot;different&quot; looking. <BR/><BR/>So for my son I use plastics, and figure the risk is probably minimal. I also like colorful plastic bentos and accessories because I think it&#39;s fun for kids and and helps them feel good about eating a healthy lunch.Jennifershmoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08663322884550580226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-23222001977937202252009-02-01T17:44:00.000-08:002009-02-01T17:44:00.000-08:00Hi!

I see that you use plastic food picks and sauce containers and just got your son a new bento box. Do you ever worry about the whole "plastic is bad for you" thing that everyone is talking about now? Or are these plastics ok for us? I stopped drinking out of plastic water bottles for the environment and my health, so I don't want to turn around and use plastic food items like these if they have the same risk.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16976738977939835302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-39717306670420616002009-02-01T15:15:00.000-08:002009-02-01T15:15:00.000-08:00We are doing a Laptop Lunch box giveway this week ...We are doing a Laptop Lunch box giveway this week @ simplyhealthful.blogspot.com <BR/><BR/>Just thought your viewer would like to know!Heather Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13737621934774544746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-66654636996889956522009-01-30T13:42:00.000-08:002009-01-30T13:42:00.000-08:00I love Tokyo Mango and all the gadgets that come o...I love Tokyo Mango and all the gadgets that come out of Japan!

I met a lot of great people that way, both vegetarian and veg-friendly. You could also meet in a church hall or other public area if there isn&#39;t a community center in Moses Lake.
